[Freke] 30 gold spent on the battlefield
Freke
I deployed on the vertical middle of the screen. The place was stuffed with Russians! 20, 30 even over 40 units per tile. After banging my berserker head into those clusters of mixed greenhorns and veterans, I decided to pull up to the top corner, when enemy lines were a bit thinner.
I am of Field Marshal rank and Nemesis artillery skill. Armed with a Q5 Attacker-tuned artillery unit, I started clearing space. 670+ russians deployed on the battlefield against Norway's occasional 1, 2 or 3 units. But most of them are punks! Several times I attacked tiles with 10-15 russian units and found myself standing as the winner. Then, when the hordes came bashing at me, I would kill 4-5 more enemies before I was finished off myself.
For this campaign, I used the +20% damage booster both in attack and defense, since the artillery attack value was 100 (max). My goal while testing was to drain as much Russian blood as possible, afterall.
Being killed brings you down to health 20. Buying 20 health costs 0.5 gold, in other words it costs 2 gold to go up from 20% to 100%. This means that you get a lot more chances to fight for the same amount of gold as restoring health cost in V1. In addition, you get to expell enemies from the battlefield before they have had the chance to deal much damage themselves.
So, 30 shiny gold pieces later, I ended up with these stats:
Enemies defeate
😛82
Times killed myself: 13
In other words, I dealt 6.3 times more kills than I was given.
I had 95 individual fights and captured 46 tiles (well, more or less the same tile 46 times).
I dealt 5 595 total damage points and received 1 182.
So, here I am with 20 health and a few bruises, but tomorrow at Day Change, I will get 70 health restored for free and then some from food and house. I think I can live with this.
I was encouraged by these figures. It shows that it is important to remember that among hundreds of enemy units, most of them are weak and low-skilled. A strong organised combat team could breach through the Russian front lines and allowed swift air units through to start mess with the tiles behind them. Granted, these battles will take a lot more of your time if you want to do real damage, but they are a lot more fun than the click-click of V1. Combined with hospitals located in strategic places, it don't have to cost that much gold either.

borrow me some gold 😃
Way to go, Freke... 😉
well done Freke!
i only eliminated 3 Russians before being killed myself... 🙁
Spent 5 gold myself. I don't get why I choose rifleman instead of tank when merging my skills. I have barely tank skills and I wasted several riflemen and a couple choppers. These russian bots/multiaccounts/cheaters are really weak...
I managed to kill 6 with no gold spent, didn´t try bezerking until the last couple attacks. There was no real way to know how to pick the best skills to merge with, but i picked something like 60/40 air/infantry.
Godt jobbet freke, regner med BH-medaljen går til deg. 😛
Well done!
what exactly is the berserk mode? didnt dare to try it 🙂
Basicly you attack several enemies with berserk mode on, in stead of just one at the time.
Way to go! I'd help in the actual battles if I could get a good, strong weapon. Otherwise, I feel rather useless dealin 4-5 damage per hit. @.@
Har sett fler som rusler rundt og kjemper - men savner samarbeid her. Ser hvordan russerten setter sammen styrkene i de forskjellige områdene - det er stort sett effektivt!
Synes vi bør ha ett sted hvor vi kan kommunisere og sette sammen styrker og bli enda mer effektive vi også!
Men, BRA KJEMPET!
just tried berserk mode out. used 4.5 gold killed 11 in 4 attacks, was killed 4 times.
it really depends on the tile and the activity of your opponents whether or not to use berserk.
a tile with 10 easy opponents: go for it.
